Appearing on MSNBC Thursday, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) claimed that millions of kids are killed by so-called "assault weapons," citing numbers that fall far short of the numbers reported by the FBI, The Blaze reported,

Were talking about millions of kids dying  being shot down by assault weapons, we're talking about handguns easier in the inner cities, to get these guns in the inner cities, than to get computers. This is not just a political issue, its a moral issue and so when we condemn the NRA we should not ignore the fact that a lot of people that have taken moral positions have been solid on this big one, he said.

Rangel blamed the NRA and politicians who support the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

Im ashamed to admit it but its politics and its money, The NRA has taken this position, there is no reason, there is no foundation. There is no hunter that needs automatic military weapons to enjoy the culture of going hunting, he said, apparently unaware that it is already illegal for average citizens to own automatic weapons without a special permit.

Charlie..Liar Liar pants on fire. Though those low information voters ..... and the moonbats (sorry) that he is trying to reach will believe in his lies so much they will be calling in on talk radio and posting on the left leaning blogs this non sense. Some of the democrats (and republicans) across America can be lied to so easily. Reminds me to why I don't like either side --Going along on one side and spreading lies for an agenda on the other.

(I like Newt. Our nation's foundation is under attack.)

Li’l Debbie Wassermann was complaining on another thread that her aides—making from 60K to over a 100K @ year—are having trouble making ends meet due to the ‘sequester.’
They can’t afford a “good meal” at lunch, so yeah, give them even more money.
George Orwell defined ‘political power’ as the ability to make others suffer. But even he didn’t write anything about those having power rubbing the peasants’ noses in it, unless that’s what he meant describing the socialists’ vision of the ideal future: ‘A boot stamping on a human face—forever.’
Our country seems to be in an economic death spiral, the government is buying billions of rounds of ammo, people like Wassermann weep crocodile tears “for the children” while their policies kill countless babies, their president says everything’s fine, and on-and-on.
And we hear these jackasses inventing stuff like this and bitching about their single, politically connected aides not being able to afford eating lunch in a place where they want to be seen.
It’s beyond discouraging.

"...we're talking about handguns easier in the inner cities, to get these guns in the inner cities, than to get computers...."

What the Hell does that even mean? Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, thrift stores and many other retailers carry computers. Schools and libraries have computers and anyone could use one of these, they could also order a computer online, by phone or by mail. Is he saying there's no Internet, phone or mail service in urban areas? Inner city residents seem to have thousands of dollars for sneakers, gold jewelry, liquor, illegal drugs, sports accessories, tattoos, cars and dental appliances. Computers have come down in price since the invention of the PC.

Hmmmmmmmm.... $300 for a newest pair of Nikes; or should I just spend it on a half decent computer? Naw, think I’ll invest it in a gun & a cool pair of baggie-britches, and then get several of both for free!

Liberalism is an assault weapon. Charlie you have more blood on your liberal hands than any serial killer with or without an "assault" rifle. You have promoted the killing of classrooms full of children everyday.

less than 100 people get killed per year in the media's mass shootings. that's in a country of 330 million people where 2.5 million home invasions happen per year. the media ignore the 2.5 million home invasions, the 58,000 children that get abducted by non-family every year in the U.S.A , and even more women disappearing , the 300,000 women getting raped per year etc. Mass shooting incidents happen so rarely in a country of 330 million people that they are statistically non-existant events. Only 1 or so per year , but 50 lighting events were people get killed by lighting. so ban lightning you morons. one psycho, a fluke gets egged on by the media fame promise out of 330 million people so the democrats say punish the 330 million people who have never done that .

At this point any Dem politician (especially black ones, due to the soft bigotry of lowered expectations) can make any outrageous claim and have it ignored by the Dem media. God forbid somebody stops speaking for a drink of water - because that is really important...

At least more people are realizing every day what many of us here have known for years: there is no way for the two sides to co-exist anymore.

He's saying that "his people" prefer buying handguns to buying computers, although that may be erroneous, because you can't play computer games or watch porn if you don't have a beeber of some sort. Surely they have smartphones, at least.

I didnt know this was happening. That changes everything. Millions of children ??? He doesnt say how often that happens. Every two hundred years millions of them are killed?.

“apparently unaware that it is already illegal for average citizens to own automatic weapons without a special permit.”

I believe Charlie Rangel is the person who rammed through the ban on any more of those permits in 1986. It was a highly controversial move, because the tape clearly showed he did not have the votes, he just declared that he did.

He is just a corrupt liar who does not one of the many people he preyed upon to have a gun.

“Rangle wasn't really lying... He's just a booger eating moron. Unfortunately, a booger eating moron with the power and capability to ruin hundreds of millions of lives.”

I know the conventional wisdom is to not attribute malice as a motive when stupidity will serve as well.

However, there comes a point when intentional, repeated ignorance can be attributed to malice, or at least the effects are the same as malice, because the person will not listen to reason, logic, or facts.
